Theme
· Not the Same Person: Understanding Your Spouse
(Proverbs 24:3 NKJV) – “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;”
The two of you are now one… so why doesn’t it feel that way? Many of the early problems in marriage stem from a lack of understanding. People don’t marry a carbon copy of themselves, so they need to learn to compromise and be sensitive to their spouse’s needs, even when those needs are very different from their own.
